Microlit

In any scientific laboratory, precision and accuracy are the cornerstones of reliable experimental results. Variable Volume Micropipettes are among the most frequently used instruments for liquid handling, making their routine maintenance and calibration absolutely critical. Over time, factors like mechanical wear, temperature fluctuations, and regular handling can cause subtle shifts in delivery volumes. To ensure your data remains flawless, here are the essential calibration tips for your liquid handling instruments. 1. Control the Environment Before starting the calibration process, ensure your environment is tightly regulated. Temperature, atmospheric pressure, and humidity significantly impact liquid density and evaporation rates. Maintain a constant room temperature (ideally between 20°C and 25°C) and allow both the distilled water and your Variable Volume Micropipettes to equilibrate in the room for at least two hours before testing. 2. Use the Gravimetric Method The industry ...
